Table 1 Lags of excess mortality after cold spells in individual population groups and characteristics of excess CVD mortality associated with cold spells.
From: Excess cardiovascular mortality associated with cold spells in the Czech Republic
Population group | Lag with the largest mean relative excess CVD mortality [days] | Relative mean excess CVD mortality with the lag after cold spells and 95% CI [%] | Mean excess CVD mortality with the lag after cold spells and 95% CI [number of deaths] | Mean expected CVD mortality [number of deaths] | Percentage of cold spells with positive excess CVD mortality at the given lag [%] |
